I've always liked the look of lifted durangos. I hear the gas mileage with the v8 is horrible though haha

I had an 01 Durango before I got the XJ....I loved that thing.

I like to get another one and do a SAS instead of the 1.75" BB

i knew a guy with a worked over v8 durango that would smoke the tires all the way down the road. it didn't eat any trannies.

but they do get horrible gas mileage and have brake issues. everyone i knew with durangos had the front brake rotors snap on them

I didnt want to quote ever post here, but gas mileage on a lifted is very bad thats why my brother bought a XJ, and the trannys do suck he got his fixed a couple times already

this has been lifted since before durangos started getting popular i think the kit was like 1300 back when he lifted it, he still has it just as a around town truck i still think there pretty basass










IFS sucks on them by the way, they look good lifted just dont perform all that great
